Bush’s Criminal Climate Censorship

The Bush administration has tried to silence a top climate scientist at NASA, stopping him from speaking out since he gave a lecture last month calling for prompt reductions in emissions of greenhouse gases linked to global warming. It is one thing to have a policy difference (however misinformed), it is quite another to stifle and censor climate science. The Bush administration has crossed the line and their climate change policy is now criminally negligent. The blood of the Earth and human civilization will forever be on the neocons' hands unless they immediately commit to emissions reductions, carbon taxes and massive renewable energy investments.

I am sure we are no longer able to have much impact on what is happening to our climate today but the lie that 'nothing is happening that people need worry about' must be challenged. People need to know, for exanple, that if they are living in a vulnerable area, on a flood plain or an area prone to hurricanes for example, maybe they should consider taking action to help themselves. It is a crime to keep spearding the myth that there is nothing to be concerned about while some governments are doing nothing to protect their citizens from the inevitable consequences of climate change, that is just bad government. Stifling people who are trying to warn of these dangers is a crime. Twenty years ago we could have changed our lifestyle and maybe had an effect on global warming but don't think it is much good today, we need to adapt to the inevitable. By adapting to what is to come we will inevitably change the way we live. The sooner we face that the better. It is not an issue of the right or the left it is an issue of survival of mankind!
